Specialized Coastal Barndominium Design Needs

Building barndos capable of withstanding pounding shoreline winds, storm surges, and salt air decay means tailoring the buildings beyond conventional construction.

Some key specialized design factors include:

 

Reinforced Foundations – Elevating floor heights above floodplains while hardening slab, piling or pier support integrity to prevent shifting.

Robust Framing – Interlocking steel interior structural frames engineered to rigid “bunker” standards rated to 135+ mph winds.

Impact-Resistant Exteriors – Limited porous surface area using concrete, stucco, brick and metal siding panels designed to abate wind pressure as well as storm debris damage.

Immune Moisture Barriers – Waterproof sheathing layers beneath finishes to fully seal out moisture and prevent replacement material degradation long-term.

Emergency Equipment – Many coastal barndo owners integrate heavy storm shutters, generators, as well as lockable storm equipment storage on-site.
